Great product selection and excellent service. The shipping cost for total purchase under $100 was rather high, however, I have no problem spending $100 and receiving free shipping. I was just shocked that ground shipping estimates were over $50. Keep up the good work.

My New Best Place To Buy From

I placed my order on a Sunday and received my parts on Tuesday, can't beat that. Everything was well packaged, nothing was beat up (unlike so many other places). Quality of the parts is exceptional and their prices are equivalent to or better than others I purchase from.

Quick order delivery

The turn around time from placing the order to item arrival was great. I really appreciated that. The bumper brackets for the rear bumper just didn’t work with my beetle. Not sure why that was the case, but with a little fabrication, I was able to construct a bracket from the parts that were sent to make the bumper work.
